February 21, 20179 yr Author #Nationals will have obvious surplus of catchers once Wieters deal is official - Norris, Lobaton, Severino. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/834061374242250753
February 21, 20179 yr QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 21, 2017 -> 09:24 AM) Agreed, he's likely expendable. But like I said above, I'm not sure he was the hangup in a deal. Probably not, but he's a logical piece for the Sox. I don't know how much better he is than Narvaez, but another body isn't a bad thing. He's supposed to be good defensively at the very least.
February 21, 20179 yr Who says no? WAS receives: David Robertson CWS receives: Pedro Severino, plus one of Jose Marmolejos-Diaz or Rafael Bautista
February 21, 20179 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Feb 21, 2017 -> 09:35 AM) Who says no? WAS receives: David Robertson CWS receives: Pedro Severino, plus one of Jose Marmolejos-Diaz or Rafael Bautista I've never heard of Diaz or Bautista, so I hope the Sox would say no unless I just need to educate myself on the Nationals system.

Probably this. It's not like we're pro-scouts or know about every player the first time we see a name. I looked them up myself. Edited February 21, 20179 yr by soxfan2014

WAS receives: David Robertson CWS receives: Pedro Severino, plus one of Jose Marmolejos-Diaz or Rafael Bautista A comment on MLBtr suggested Severino and Sheldon Neuse. He's a second round 2016 pick who played SS and 3B. That's all I know about Neuse.

February 21, 20179 yr I'm sure Severinos defense is advertised, but, I'm kinda questioning why we are falling over ourselves to get a likely backup catcher.

Is he a good pitch framer?

He could actually be a solid buy-low, bounce-back candidate. He was awful last year though. Don't really want him in a deal for Robertson unless it's to help offset some money and we end up getting 2-3 non-catching prospects in a deal. Edited February 21, 20179 yr by soxfan2014

Completely agree here. I'd rather have more upside in a Robertson deal. I'd take Severino along with 2 far away prospects for DRob and like Lawrie or something. Robertson for Severino does nothing for me though.

I'd take Soto + Severino, Sox kick in some cash and lets make a deal happen
February 21, 20179 yr QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 21, 2017 -> 10:10 AM) Norris is an excellent framer. Norris was awful at the plate last season. Could he bounce back? Sure, but the Sox will want Severino plus a quality prospect in return
February 21, 20179 yr QUOTE (steveno89 @ Feb 21, 2017 -> 10:13 AM) I'd take Soto + Severino, Sox kick in some cash and lets make a deal happen They won't trade Soto for Robertson.
February 21, 20179 yr QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 21, 2017 -> 10:15 AM) They won't trade Soto for Robertson. They would if they really wanted to win in the window in which they have Harper. Soto is 18 years old...
February 21, 20179 yr Sox love Severino, was in an article about a scout who watched him and the other Nats guys we got I believe
February 21, 20179 yr QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 21, 2017 -> 10:15 AM) They won't trade Soto for Robertson. If the Sox kick in some cash, I could see the Nationals parting with an 18 year old Soto and Severino They will have added Robertson at a more palatable number for two seasons, and not parted with any prospects close to the majors I see that as a win win deal
